Through a. typographical error it was stated in Wednesday’s Dominion that Air. Erie Breadwell had been placed first in recitation (gentlemen, under 21 years). This should have read “Mr. Eric Threadwill.” The subject for the prepared reading test on Tuesday was "In Memoriam” (Maeterlinck), and the winner of this section was Air. Barton Ginger, Wellington.
